My favorite painting in that museum is Death on a Pale Horse.
Portion of a mural by Os Gemeos at Avendia Fontes Perreira de Melo in Lisbon.
edit: Does it have to be from the DIA? If so, looking throuh their site, I think I'd choose Cotopaxi. Makes me think of prehistoric tmes. http://www.dia.org/object-info/baeac490-f496-4a17-b917-dd021...

1. It doesn't have to be from the DIA -I don't think. Mine wasn't. 2. Have you ever considered that perhaps it's the horses' nightmare?
I like your pick mk, my grandmother had a print of this on her wall when I was growing up. I've always loved it. She still frequents the "brunch with Bach" that they have at the DIA. Have you been?
